Update on builds for Zer0

Borderlands 2 Zer0 the Assassin
#1

Hey guys I was wondering if anyone had some more builds they wanted to share for Zer0. I’ve tried some of the ones from the master build list but none of them quite fit my playstyle any build suggestions would be appreciated.

I’m currently running a sandhawk/pistolish build. Occasionally swap to melee but I still can’t seem to solo some raid bosses…mainly the dragons in particular. Thanks

These are my current skills for the hawk/pistols running a chaotic evil com.

And this is what I run with melee using a legendary ninja com.

Edit: apparently my build was a lot more viable than I originally thought. I’m going to create a thread if anyone wants to use it.

@Gulfwulf I noticed you posted in a lot of the threads for Zero maybe you have some suggestions?
Edit: Also just noticed you made the master build list and top gear threads lol.

I tend to swap the last few points around each time I respec, but:

Melee: http://bl2skills.com/assassin.html#505001400045055105015500515401

Gunplay: http://bl2skills.com/assassin.html#505051050050555105515050310000

Thanks @jhunter922 any particular guns you typically use? As well as coms, shields and relics?

I don’t know if my spy zero build is in the master thread, so you might have a look at it too.

Can’t link on phone, title of the thread is “Build: Spy Zero”

No it’s not on the list but I did check it out the other day…I prefer more gunplay though. If I switch to melee I have a hard time with a hybrid build. Nice build though!

My new Zero has this for melee:
http://bl2skills.com/assassin.html#505001000055055105015203515431
Main gear is a L. Ninja com, Love Thumper, slag Evisceration Rubi, Chain Lighting, Slagga and DPUH for when I go into FFL and can’t melee someone. Relic used was a proficiency relic with +47% cool down rate.
This build is what I used on Terra:
http://bl2skills.com/assassin.html#505351500050055105515050510000
Main gear here was a Rapid Infinity, CCC, Slagga and fire Lyuda with Bee. Switched to an Evolution + Rubi with Chain Lightning to heal when AS was on cool down- used either a Sheriff’s Badge or fire BotA while swapping between a L. Sniper and L. Hunter com…

Very nice. Might have to play around with that a bit. Thank you.

Sorry for the delayed reponse, main things I like to have: for melee, the basics like bladed Grog, Rapier, Pimps, Interfacer, Twister, Butcher (corrosive), DPUH. Other gear: Legendary Ninja, Grounded Hide of Terra, Chain Lightning, Fire and Corrosive BotA.

If I’m running my gun build, I’ll get some other stuff in the rotation like the Bekah, Florentine, Hornet, etc. Other gear: Legendary Killer, Blockade, Beehawk for Raids, Longbow Slag transfusion, Chain Lightning, all flavors of BotA’s…I know I’m forgetting stuff, but I’m not at home right now and can’t look at my inventory.

Edit: oh yeah, and my Lady Fists and the Blockhead.

That’s weird, I never thought of my build as melee or even hybrid. I do use melee from time to time, but 95% of my kills are Unforseen or guns. Unless I misinterpreted what you said.

Nice yeah that’s similar to what I’m kinda going for. I actually made a build the other day I’m actually going to play with it a bit and hope to update it by the end of the week. It’s called The Infinite Hawk lol should be one of the first threads under zer0 or actually here’s the link.

My apologies I totally was looking at the wrong build when I responded to you. No I actually like your spy build. I’m actually working on a different build of my own right now. But I’m definitely gonna have to try out yours. Looks pretty fun! Feel free to check mine out too. It’s a work in progress though. I hope to have video and better description uploaded by the end of the week.
